The Underwater Drone Experience in Curaçao
Pilot a professional FIFISH V EVO underwater drone over the reefs and wrecks of Curaçao. Watch everything live on a large screen, then take the controls yourself. No diving or swimming required.
Meet the FIFISH V EVO
The heart of the expedition is a professional FIFISH V EVO, a remotely operated underwater vehicle built for real observation work. Its 4K camera and powerful LED lights send a crystal clear live image from below the surface to the large screen at our waterfront site.
- 4K camera with approximately 5000 lumen of underwater lighting
- Omnidirectional movement, it can hover, turn and dive with precision
- Live video feed to a large screen via a dedicated HDMI connection
- Depth and water temperature visible on screen during the mission
The drone observes without touching. The reef is never contacted.
From Briefing to Your Turn at the Controls
Every departure follows four acts, guided by a two person crew: an expedition host who operates the drone, and a tether handler who manages the cable at the waters edge.
The Mission
A short briefing about the route, the drone and what the group may discover.
The Launch
The drone is prepared and launched into the sea while the live feed comes to life.
The Exploration
The operator explores reefs, underwater structures, marine life and deeper water while guests follow live on the large screen.
You Take Control
The drone moves to a safe pilot area and every guest receives guided time at the controls.
Guided Pilot Time in a Safe Area
The operator first brings the drone to a safe pilot area, away from coral, wreck structures and other water users. You then receive the controls for several minutes of guided flight, with the operator standing directly beside you.
- Beginner friendly configuration with reduced speed and automatic depth holding
- The operator coaches you and can take the controls back instantly
- Your name appears on the mission, like Pilot: Michael, Florida
Minimum age and exact pilot time are confirmed after our pilot test.
A Two Person Team on Every Departure
The Expedition Host and Operator
Flies the drone, guides the exploration, explains what you see and coaches every guest pilot.
The Tether Handler
Manages the cable so it never drags over coral, structures, boats or swimmers.
Weather Assessed Missions
Sea conditions are checked before every departure. Unsuitable conditions mean adaptation or rescheduling.
No Swimming. No Diving. No Problem.
The expedition is designed for almost everyone, which makes it a strong choice for mixed groups.
Families
Kids watch, ask and fly. A shared adventure for all ages.
Older Travellers
No swimming and no physical strain. Fly yourself or just enjoy the screen.
Non Swimmers
The underwater world without entering the water at all.
Technology Fans
A real professional ROV, live piloting, real time video.
Preview a Dive Site Before You Enter the Water
The expedition is not a scuba diving service, and it is not only for people who skip diving. For divers, the underwater drone can also be used as a visual scouting tool. Before entering the water, divers can watch a live view of the underwater environment and get an initial look at reefs, structures and areas they may want to explore during their dive.
- View the general underwater environment before a planned dive
- Look at reef structure, wrecks and underwater structures
- Identify visually interesting areas
- Let every member of a dive group watch the same live images together
This is visual reconnaissance and exploration only. The drone does not replace professional dive planning, a dive briefing, a qualified dive operator, safety procedures, weather assessment, current assessment, depth planning, local dive knowledge or certification requirements.
